[clang-tidy] Do not issue fixit for explicit template specializations

[flx]

Summary

Do not issue fixit in UnnecessaryValueParamCheck if the function is an explicit template specialization as this could cause build breakages.

Did you mean to add a CHECK-FIXES to ensure the code stays unchanged?

LG. Thanks!
